We're ready! 🚀
The first release candidate for Starlette 1.0 is here! After years on ZeroVer, we're finally making the jump.
This release removes all deprecated features marked for 1.0.0, along with some last-minute bug fixes.
A special thank you to @lovelydinosaur, the creator of Starlette, Uvicorn, HTTPX and MkDocs, whose work helped to lay the foundation for the modern async Python ecosystem. 🙏
Thank you to @adriangb, @graingert, @agronholm, @florimondmanca, @aminalaee, @tiangolo, @alex-oleshkevich, and @abersheeran for helping make Starlette what it is today. And to all my sponsors - especially @tiangolo, @huggingface, and @elevenlabs - thank you for your support!
Thank you to all 290+ contributors who have shaped Starlette over the years!
